Lies Inside The Truth [Senryu]

by Kuro   Jun 6, 2011


Inside the truth lies.
The truth lies. Truth lies inside.
Lies inside the truth.

Lies, inside the truth...
Lies inside... the truth

~~~Writer's Note~~~
I wrote this to be a play on words. The word "Lies" could refer to "Lay down" or to not tell the truth, but tell a "Lie". The same phrase can be repeated with different emphases to give it a completely different meaning.

    I absolutly loved this poem. I thought the double meaning whammy was great - and you used it well with "lies".

    I thought this was unique and brilliant! I like how it can mean two different things given the way you read it. Very nicely done.
